April

My mom had major MAJOR back surgery the beginning of April.  Jana and I went up to visit her.  She did so well! 

A few days later we brought the kiddos to see her.
We helped get her moved over to the rehabilitation center in Orem
The rehibilitiation center had a really cool fish tank that entertained the girls for hours

After we got my mom settled in we went for dinner at a super yummy BBQ place
We have THE MEATS!


SPRING STUFF:

yard clean up 


Spring bike ride

Spring picnic

Spring hammock time


We were all excited when Grandma got to come home


Tianna ran for Mayor of JA city.  She did an awesome job on her speech and campaign





On April 21st we did a thing....

I also did a thing
Before
During
After:


Linaya went to Kindergarten Preview.  How is she getting old enough for this?

We decorated Adelia's classroom door for Mrs Bishop



We had quite a scare with Tianna.  She was helping clean up, wash, brush and groom all of the horses for Grandpa Neil when one of  the horses freaked out and yanked the 9 inch nail and thick cross beam of the tether poles out.  It flung straight at Tianna's face knocking her back.  The forces gave her a concussion.  
It was very scary... the wounds seemed very superficial but she quickly starting losing memory of all that happened.
By the time I got to her a few minutes after the accident she recounted the whole story to me and immediately wanted me to tell her the story of what happened.  I did and then she was processing the story and then immediately forgot again.  I started to worry!

I called Luke and came as soon as possible.  He gave her a Priesthood blessing and we rushed her to the hospital.  It was quite a miracle.  The hospital is only 5 minutes a way but by the time we arrived she was regaining her memory.  The doctor said she had a concussion and be careful for a week, but she should be fine.  
And thankfully she was! What a blessing

April ended with a miracle.  Seems like a great way to usher in May

Easter at Circle Rocks

We spent Easter weekend with the Peacock family at their favorite desert camping spot, what they call Circle Rocks.
Its the coolest section of house side rocks in a.. you guessed it, a circle! Inside the circle is a perfect place for keeping the wind away and making the family gathering spot with the camp fire and cooking etc.

Can you spot the little "birdie" in the tree
